Confused? Struggling to understand what you are going through? If you are feeling stuck, that your world is getting smaller, are looking for ways to manage emotions, overcome your anxiety or grow in confidence I may be able to help. I provide online therapy to clients across the UK for difficulties including: anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, OCD and others. After a number of years working in the NHS, I decided to develop a practice using evidence-based therapy to build understanding and find ways of coping with mental health problems – just like any other health problem we might encounter in our lives.

Stress; anxiety; depression; a sense of disconnection from the self, others and the world, and many other symptoms, can develop without a noticeable cause. For others there may be a clear connection between social, emotional and health-related issues and adverse life experiences or trauma. I bring in different therapy approaches to work with clients and their difficulties. Understanding what is happening in our minds and bodies is an important part of this work. We can carefully notice body feelings and thoughts where they arise in our life and make sense of what that tells us.

Overwhelmed? Lost? Your past weighing you down? If this is you, you are not alone. Life is tough for us all and it’s no surprise we sometimes feel a bit stuck. My primary aim is to create a safe environment where we can work together to move towards your goals. We will explore, discover and try out new skills and strategies for improvements in the long term leading to healthier relationships and greater overall well-being and life fulfilment. I work with individuals and couples.

Are you struggling with anxiety and fear around failure and taking risks? Has your self-worth become dependent on achievement? If your anxiety and perfectionism are keeping you from living the life you want, we may be a good fit. Together we will look at how you can change your relationship to your inner 'saboteur' or 'critic' without losing your motivation and ability to challenge yourself. I work with individuals who are experiencing anxiety and perfectionism around a wide range of life circumstances including at work, university, and about becoming parents.
